Emma could not believe what she saw in front of her. She, a common 17 years girl, who had just leave from her house and crossed the street in order to go to school, as usual, was now petrifiedlooking at her boyfriend John who was kissing her best friend Karla, at the entrance of a Neighbor’s house.

“This can not be possible!” Emma thought to herself. Suddenly mixture of emotions came intoEmma’s body. She could not understand what was happening. Karla, who was Emma’s best friend, was now apparently kissing John. Emma wished that situation was a really bad dream, but it was not.

Shestarted to cry as her heart broke into pieces. Everything seemed to be lost between them, when somebody came up closer to Emma and hugged her, “Why are you crying honey?” this person asked. Shestopped crying and raises her head to see this person. It was John, so, who was that boy kissing Karla? Emma realized that the boy kissing Karla was John’s brother. With out saying anything both of themunderstood what had being going on, and started laughing. Fortunately, everything had been a confusion.
